The University of Tor onto is itself perhaps the very best speciâ€" men we have in this country of the advisâ€" abillty of entirely throwing aside ail consideration of birth and nationality in what treatment is meted out even to friends if political exigency makes it noâ€" cessary to have a complaint of some kind. The fact is, that Mr. Lo=Jou was chosen for his ability, and his eminent fitness for the position. The question of which side of the Atlantic he was borm unon deep interest in the appointment of a suc* cessor to Mr. Cherriman as professor of mathematics and natural philosophy in the University of Toronto, and for the nom e became a very earnest advocate of the principles otf "Canada First." We m .t have a Canadian for. the position, if one could be drummed up atall equal to its duties. Of course, whoever was appointed must be talented and capable, but he rmust also be a child of the soilâ€" Here _ was a _ well known _ scholar, a perfectly square peg to fit the square hole, in the person of Mr. Loudon, M.A. Aund Mr. Loudon being appointed, one would think the organ might be sat* isfled, and for once the Government would receive credit for their conduct. Not a bit of it. Mr. Loudon is told that he was appointed only because other genâ€" tlemen from the mother country, selected by the Government for high and responâ€" sible positions, had been compelled to resign on account of circumstances which the Mail at the time admitted were much to be regretted, but whom it is now pleased to cal!, in its usual elegant style, miser able failures. This is a poor compliment to the gentloman whose cause it os authority sees something wrong in it But, stranger still, if the or gan _ advocates _ a _ certain _ course, «nd it so happens that â€" the Government had already made up their‘minds to folâ€" low is, we are assured either that this was done because of the Mail‘s great influence and power, or because the Government had been frightened out of the commisâ€" sion of som»* dreadful wrong which they had in contemplation. It is comforting to know that there is at least one human suthority upon this planet which _ never erts, nor even . ap~ wrong ; that is to say, the Mail thinks so. !; would be interesting to know wheu that bright particular light in the Conservative firmament ever peeped down upon the country since the Liberal party came into power, that things were not observed to be going genérally to the dogs.

This conâ€" tention is assailed | by the Opposition as evidence that the party are taking a different view of the same ques: tiom from that they took when Mr. Sandfield was in power. We do not see that there is a particle 0 f reason in the ground upon this question by the Oppeosition . the case of the donald‘s time, their| elections had been volded ; the seats vacant, there was no pretence of ing ; the time had lapsed, and the hai gone out of title to their reats has been affected.by lagal proceedings. |It is contended by Another point of damaging semblance of the Liberal to the Tory party in resâ€" tant when the accident of birth is going to be made the basis of selection to any office in the gift of the Crown, or any other office for that matter, or when seâ€" condâ€"rate talent will be accepted to do first class work it happens to be reared on this side of water. ' The Opposition writers are in ectacies | when they find in the conduct or | the argument . of Ministecs n.-ll' their supporters even the -N.nai of evidence that "Cmear and Tompey | very much alike, ‘specially pompey." The whoio power of the Conservativre mind is devoted, not to the assertion of certa.s ,.rineiples so that their ultimate application to the government of the -lionmqhnk-ond.buth the disâ€" covery of faulls and failings that may be compared with the bacd features of the administrative record of the Conservative party. As a party the Conservatives had became notoriowmly corrupt; and it was . confessediy _ their policy . to allow no _ scruples to _ prevent the doing of that which might appear noâ€" cessary to the retention of power. They do not deny their error in this direction, for it is useless to do so, the records of the country being against them. They nents, that the worst of their own achievements had found able iinitators amonget their suocessore. make it appoar that others are as bad as thomselves. And, one would think by the noise they make, when they preiend to have discovered a fault of owission or commission in the conduct of their oppoâ€" purest, who can throw the first stomne. So that so far as the induilgence in cor« do not even defend themselves, perhaps because they are sonsible that their case does not admit of defence. They take Regent dincoveries of points of a pre tended similitude between the vices of the respective political parties have given exceedingly great pleasure to those who apeak for the party in Uppositiqn. Omne of the points thus discovered is the evidence of coryruption afforded by Mr; Brown‘s letier to Mr. Simpson. 1t is sought to make it appear to the public, sometimes too apt to jump to a conclusion, that the case of Mr, Brown is as bad as that of Rir John Macdonald. 1f all the ciroumsetances were parallel,then Mr, Brown‘s sotion was, perhaps, quite as bad as that which brought the Conservative party to grief But the cases are only to a very limited extent paraliel. _ Admitting that Mr Browns, contrary to his own desiaration, was employed in raising a fund for corrupt purpdses, then to that extent he was equally guilty with Sir John Macdonald. But to that extent induigence in corrupt practices was almost universal and that they took when Mr. was in power.
